I allways do my calculations in Mathematica and I make my histograms using ROOT language. However I am wondering is it possible to make good looking histogram inside Mathematica? A sample of what I mean is the following figure (made by ROOT):

Some sample data (not identical to the one used in the above plot) which can be used:

You can draw such plots using the ListPlot command. There are many options for color, style, etc. To get the plus signs, you would use the option PlotMarkers. You can access the help files for these commands using ?ListPlot

@bill s Thanks a lot for your comment. What about the other joined plots? I guess that I can't make them using ListPlot and I don't know that Histogram can produce them or not.

@Zahra actually this is not a histogram with the traditional meaning its more like a step plot.

Of course you can make them with Mathematica. But you need to learn how to use the documentation. ? is your friend.

I note that not all pluses have the same size. Apparently they are error margins. Shouldn't that be incorporated as well?

this is just a demonstration I need more information on what the errors denote for a faithful reproduction of ROOT's plot. If you have the errors as a list just substitute the value of my error variable.
